Nerf to SLRs is ludicrous

I will try to avoid ranting as much as possible but this to me is frustratingly absurd in some aspectsI do not see why SLRs are getting nerfed the way they are ESPECIALLY the factory variants. factory variants were JUST made MUCH more viable but now with the new CTE patch, not so much. What irritates me the most is that DICE decided that they would greatly increase horizontal recoil on the m1907SL but now they are making it EVEN WORSE than before the buff.M1907SL Factory Pre winter patch:Spread decrease:7.5Recoil decrease: 6Horizontal recoil: .42--.42

*gritsteethgritsteethgritsteethThe slight decrease in spread is not worth the near DOUBLING in horizontal recoil. This change is 100% completely idiotic and unnecessary. Does anyone know other than the regular battlefield forums and reddit where we can give feedback to the developers? I cant log into the sub reddit of BF1 and im banned from battlefield forums (for reasons )

It's already sucks at mid range, but THAT amount of Hrec increase is insane even for CQB - Beretta M1918 has the same Hrec(in CTE patch), lol.

Sorry for my bad english - it's not my native language and I have difficulties with acquiring speaking/writing practice in my country. If I accidently insult you or say something wrong - I'm sorry, you can feel free to correct me.

Yeah, the M1907 is a CQB SLR, but the pre-patch damage model, low velocity and quite high Hrec (0.7-0.84 depending on patch) already kept it from competing at range.

I don't quite see the reasoning behind giving it a massive 1.2 total degrees of Hrec. I don't say that increased Hrec wasn't warranted (I have great confidence in the people doing the balancing), but this increase seems a bit excessive.

Similarly, I'm not convinced the M1916 needed to get it's Hrec nearly doubled from 0.6 to 1.06. Unlike the M1907 the M1916 isn't a CQB SLR. The same goes for the Mondragon, which went from 0.64 to 0.9 - a near 50 % increase on another non-CQB SLR.

I doubt that the increase was motivated by their damage on target at range. To me it seems more like the intention is to penalize ease-of-use (magazine-based reloads and >5 round magazines), probably in an effort to nudge the playerbase away from the M1916 and M1907. I'm not convinced that nerfs of this scale was warranted though...

I don't see how you can have confidence in people doing the balancing when they just released a retail patch substantially buffing the 1907, only to turn around and nerf it in the CTE worse than it was pre-retail patch.
